This second-generation contractor comes from a long line of craftsmen and entrepreneurs who taught him the value of hard work and imbued him with the sense that it isn't enough to merely perform a craft trade, but to strive to do it better. As a boy, he would accompany his father to jobs-not just because he enjoyed the opportunity to spend time together, but also because of his love of watching buildings being erected from the ground up.
Community involvement is extremely important to Chuck. As President of Mk Walsh Construction, he encourages his team members to engage with local charities and programs on a personal level. When not working, you are likely to find Chuck behind a drum set or bass guitar or on an ATV.
